I can carry a tune, and babies and kids like my voice, but it doesn’t have strength or good tone quality.
And, I’d like to have enough self-confidence to get through job interviews without shaking or turning red.
Fanciful: Shapechange (into anything I want)
Realistic: I’d like to be able to dance.
Fantasy -
- Being able to breathe water (no need for scuba tanks!)
- Flying
- Invisibility (for real, not just being alone in a crowd)
- Shapechanging (thanks, Balance; forgot about that one)
Reality -
- Being able to change a diaper (or deal with a gross mess) without retching and vomiting (I don’t have kids, but I have the utmost respect for people who can do this!)
- Self-motivation
- Clarity of communication (I swear, when I give instructions to someone, they hear gibberish when I speak English)
- A talent for drawing, especially caracatures
- Being able to voice my opinion in public without feeling like (or made to feel like) a complete dunderhead.
- A better singing voice
- Ability to learn something difficult without getting so d@mn frustrated
- Ability to drive a manual transmission vehicle
Do you know how hard it is to find a place to get a turbo around Albany, NY? It’s driving me insane! My dad’s got a Daytona with a blown turbo and I wanted to replace it for him for Christmas/his birthday, and I can NOT find a place to get one. I’ve even called the local Dodge turbo-charged road racing group (yes, there is one) and they couldn’t help me either – they get theirs in Connecticut. I’m pissed. End of hijack.
I could teach you
I would like to have a sense of style - the ability to translate the effect I want into the clothes I choose or the decor of my house.
I’d also like to be able to paint - to look at something and put it on canvas at a skill level above that of a toddler.
and dance… but I mentioned that once before…
I would like to be less easily distracted, especially when I’ve got work to do that I don’t want to do and the Straight Dope is so much more interesting …
Teleportation, telekinesis, and the ability to stop/reverse time or add extra hours to the day would be nice too.
A prehensile penis.

Well if we are being realistic, I would asolutely want to play any instrument and sing as well as Thom Yorke of Radiohead. Oh, and to speak any language, too.
Unrealistic…well that’s an easy one: Superspeed!!!
I mean, come on, the Flash has one of the BEST all around powers.
I would like to be able to turn it on and off like Johnny Quick, though…otherwise sex would be…well, just not the same. 
3X2(9YZ)4A!!!
The ability to fly.
Failing that, the ability to communicate with corn or the ability to calm jittery squirrels.
The ability to tell if someone is lying. Or maybe the ability to have any girl I wanted…or at least one girl I wanted…ok, ok ANY girl.
Since I’ve managed to mostly kill two friendly ICQ relationships within the space of a week, I’d do just about anything to know how to flirt 
I wish I could talk to the animals. Either telepathic or verbally.
I’d like to know what they are saying.
What do they think about us humans? And other such questions.
